If the typical car is driven 12,000 miles, I assume an EV will require about 4,000 kWh more per year (3 miles / kWh).
Charging off-peak means baseload capacity would need to increase, which is a good thing since it reduces the gap between base and peak loads. Nuke would be an excellent source of baseload since they like to run at a continuous output.
